Expert Solution
Step 1

Capital asset pricing model:

This model describes the relationship of the expected return of the assets with the systematic risk of the assets. It is more commonly used in the valuation of risky securities.

Step 2

Compute the return of the market using the equation as shown below:

Return of market=Expected market risk premium+Risk free rate                              =6.6%+1.3%                              =7.9%

 

Hence, the return of the market is 7.9%.
